Labour flooded the Lords under Blair and Brown to give themselves a large majority.
Time to make the Lords democratic with no more than 300 members and preferably 200. They could be elected under some sort of promotional representation so no party has a majority.
To give your point some balance it has been done in perpetuity with the previous Conservative Governments. Maybe those rogues Blair and Brown were copying?
The Lords should be abolished in its present form but obviously there has to be an upper chamber with no majority as long as they could make decisions.
